WHY IT WORKS

Why audience fit matters more than a spot on the list.

Fame and fit aren't the same. Looking past who tops the top content creators charts to real audience data and engagement helps brands find creators who deliver results, not just visibility.

6.1%

Avg engagement rate

The appeal of content creators is fit: voice, topics, and audience overlap so that branded content feels native instead of interruptive.

$280

Avg cost per post

Because individual collaborations with content creators are relatively low-cost, brands can test several angles in parallel and keep what performs.

68%

Local audience overlap

Content creators let brands reach buyers where attention is genuine, turning niche authority into measurable consideration and sales.
